NEW YORK STATE/CITY LICENSED ASBESTOS PROFESSIONALS

New York City adopted specific standards, procedures and licensing for asbestos work pursuant to the Department of Environmental Protection’s Asbestos Control Program Rules and Regulations (Title 15, Chapter 1). These regulations require any entity involved in asbestos abatement projects (contractors or monitors) to create an account with the NYC Department of Environmental Protection’s Asbestos Reporting and Tracking System. This electronic system is accessible through the DEP’s website for filing notifications, requesting variances, submitting amendments and closing out projects. This site is linked to the Department of Buildings and project monitors must complete the project closeout process before any application for a construction permit will be reviewed.
